Purpose: This study investigated the eating behaviors of Chinese children using the Nutrition Quotient for Children (NQ-C). Methods: The research subjects were 336 students (166 boys and 170 girls) in the 5th and 6th years at two elementary schools in Shandong Province and Jiangsu Province. Results: The average score of the Children's NQ was good, reaching 69.6 points. The factor scores for balance, moderation, diversity, regularity, and practice were 58.8, 84.9, 63.6, 76.1, and 73.6 points, respectively. Compared with the diagnostic cut-off points of the factors, mean balance, moderation, regularity, and practice scores were above the cut-off points, but diversity score did not meet the cut-off points. Fathers' education level showed positive correlation with the balance, regularity, and NQ scores of the students. Mothers' education level also showed positive correlation with the balance and regularity scores and mother's employment showed positive correlation with regularity score. As the exercise hours per day increased, the NQ score also increased. Conclusion: The questionnaire of NQ-C developed in Korea can be used in assessment of nutrition behavior of Chinese elementary students who have similar eating patterns.

Research was conducted by oral examination, their mothers' socioeconomic factors and dental health belief model. The finding of analysis can be summaried as follows; In regard to the caries in deciduous teeth status, the five-year-old boy children's dft index was 3.39 and that of the girls of the same age was 2.76. The dft index of the boys of six was 3.86 and that of the girls of the same age was 3.27. The five-year-old boy children had the highest df rate(81.8%), and their dt rate was more than their ft rate. But for the six-year-old girl children, ft rate was higher than dt rate. For the five years old, the boy children's ft rate was significantly higher than that of the girls(p<0.05). Concerning the caries in deciduous teeth states by socioeconomic factors, their oral health status was significantly different according to mother employment and householder age. The df rate of the preschoolers with working mothers(84.7%) was significantly higher than that of those with nonworking mothers(66.7%)(p<0.05). The dft index of the group whose households were over forty was highest with 4.07, followed by the children of the households aged 35 to 39 with 3.83, those of the households aged 25 to 29 with 3.33, and those of the households aged 30 to 34 with 2.15. The difference between the groups was significant(p<0.05). As to the difference of maternal dental health beliefs by maternal socioeconomic factors, households educational background and whether to live with parents or parents-in-law under the same roof made a significant difference to maternal oral health beliefs. The mothers whose households were college graduates or better-educated were stronger in oral health susceptibility and seriousness(p<0.01, p<0.05). The salience was recognized more by those who lived with parents or parents-in-law than by the others who didn't(p<0.05). The dft index of the preschoolers was related to maternal dental health beliefs. That was lower when their mothers perceived dental health benefit better.

This study examined the latent groups regarding the changes and difficulties after becoming a single parent and analyzed the differences in the backgrounds and depressive levels according to each group. The data of 2,500 single parents from the 2018 Single Parent Family Survey were analyzed by Latent Profile Analysis (LPA). LPA indicated four-profile groups: 1) parenting stability group, 2) normal group, 3) economic stability group, and 4) potential-risk group. Its determinants included gender and economic status, including government funding type and employment status rather than academic status. Specifically, female single parents with an unemployed or low-income support household were more likely to be linked to the potential-risk group. In addition, the potential-risk group showed a higher depressive level than the parenting stability group, normal group, and economic stability group. The significance of this study is that distinguished intervention based on the characteristics of each group can promote the effectiveness of single-parent family support policy.

This study analysed Emergency Medical Technology(EMT) students' satisfaction in clinical practice. It was discovered that satisfaction was a means of 3.61(${\pm}0.70$) and the factor which had a significant influence on satisfaction was desired job area (F=3.98, p=0.004). The factors which were significant to satisfaction were practice beginning grade(t=0.43, p=0.038), period of practice(F=2.82, p=0.025), and departments(F=11.81, p=0.000) In respect to significant positive correlations between practice procedures and satisfaction, observation frequency (r=0.221, p=0.000) and practice frequency(r=0.170, p=0.002) had significantly positive correlations with satisfaction. Based on the results above, it is suggested that to enhance EMT students' satisfaction in clinical practice, students should have clear points of view on their job and practice beginning grade and practice period should be properly considered according to characteristics of students. Also, effective practice programs which carefully consider peculiarity of Emergency Medical Technology should be developed further.

During the last few decades dramatic expansion of education occurred for women as well as men in Korea. Taking into account such a rapid expansion of education, this study examines trends in the effects of education on first occupational attainment among Korean women. Using the data from "the 4th Survey on Women's Employment," conducted by Korean Women's Development Institute in 2001, this study investigates the trends across three cohorts classified on the basis of the year of labor force entry after schooling: before 1980, 19801989, and 1990 or later. First, log-linear models are applied to the data to detect the temporal change in the overall association between education and first occupational attainment controlling for marginal distribution. The log-linear analysis shows that the strength of association between education and first occupation has declined over time. An additional analysis of OLS regression is conducted to see how the effects of each level of educational attainment on occupational prestige have changed across the three cohorts. The results of OLS regression suggest that the differences in prestige scores between the lowest and each of other educational levels are narrower in recent cohorts.t cohorts.
